For too many years, I thought I was the only one in a hard marriage. Everyone else made it look so easy, so perfect, so happy. Sure, we had our share of happy moments, but we also had more than a few moments of grueling struggle, hard work, and frustration. With an honest and hard-earned voice, Mark and Jill Savage bravely replace the Hollywood mirage of a storybook romance with a healthy blueprint of a real and rock-solid relationship. If youre looking for authentic story, practical how-to, and hope to build a true and lasting love, youve found it.

This book fills a unique niche in the marriage help category. Using the theme of home renovation appeals to the hands on, nuts and bolts crowd, while at the same time offering honest and intimate insight into matters of the heart. An invaluable tool for any married couple. I think Jill and Mark have really nailed it with this one!
